The State Department has ordered the destruction of all computers at the US Embassy in Kiev, according to The Wall Street Journal.

It is alleged that the department ordered the destruction of network equipment, computer workstations, and disable the telephone system. As the newspaper notes, the diplomatic mission in Kiev is now unsuitable for use as a diplomatic facility.

The publication recalled that the United States is closing its embassy in the Ukrainian capital and moving the diplomatic mission to Lviv, near the Polish border, as US allies warn of an "imminent attack" by Russian troops on Ukraine. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called the decision a temporary move to protect embassy staff.

Prior to this, the publication in Bild reported that against the backdrop of reports of the evacuation of diplomats in the American embassy in Kiev, they began to burn documents and destroy secret equipment.
